if anything they should let RARE go , they haven't done anything ever since they joined MS, and aquire someone that does, for example all the XBL developers that have the potential to make a great platformer.

Edit :  though now that i remember , i do hope they make a Kameo sequel , that game was awesome.

Erm, Kinect Sports is very successful. Over a million and still at full price.

Can't wait for the future RARE Kinect games, Conker Kinect? Banjo Kazooie Kinect? Viva Pinata Kinect?

So because a game is succesfull it's suppose to be good. IMHO Microsoft kills Rareware. I'm glad Bioware was not bought by microsoft because i'm not quite sure they would have release so many great games. I think microsoft should stick to their formula to use third party developpers creating games with IP owns by microsoft. Once Microsoft buy you you never know how it's gone end. I think it's time for microsoft to launch a good new IP for their own good.

He clearly was trying to use sales as a back up because if he said simply it was good that doesnt exactly stand a lot of ground. How on gods name did MS kill Rareware, they made them on of the main components in the main things MS has done this Gen, New Experience, Avatars incl, Kinect, one of Kinects main games in Kinect sports (the first non attached 1 million seller) which is a great success for a new platforms game to sell this quickly. 

From all reports Rare has done fantastically. And are you really criticising MS ip's, have  you played Alan Wake, have you played Kinect Sports, have you played Dance Central. If there is no to 2/3 of those, you cant really comment on how MS is doing now can you?

I would rather have good games than Avatars, so I can see how people would be disappointed with Rare this gen. I am too, seeing as they made great games like the DKC trilogy, and have been reduced to working on the things you listed.
